GameHouse.com guys tackle 4th edition

We arrived back in Winterhaven without incident. Douvian Staul was returned to his wife, which netted the party 250 XP and 500 GP. A trip to the markets relieved Relic of the miscellaneous gear it was packing and made our purses heavy with gold. Those purses were quickly lightened as we purchased a set of dwarven platemail for Insman Sevenoaks and an enchanted greatsword for Relic.

Insman checked in with Martha at the temple to get any additional information about Kethelas and the party headed north to deal with the kobolds in their lair.

As we approached the cave entrance, Thorn detected a party of kobolds awaiting our arrival. With sound tactics we took them down easily.

As we prepared to enter the lair, the party heard screaming, shouting, and general chaos. We entered in formation and found 13 more kobolds waiting for us (10 minions, 3 skirmishers). The party split into two elements and proceeded to dispatch with efficiency. When the foes numbered only four, they started to retreat deeper into the cave. We pursued only to discover more foes emerge as a war horn sounded.

Their leader emerged from a tunnel at the rear of the cave. The goblin was named Irontooth – a scarred, tattooed goblin with dual battleaxes. He was accompanied by another wurm priest, three kobold soldiers with spears, shields and mail (tougher than dragon scale).

After a long fight, the foes were slain. The party moved outdoors and camped for the night.

Set out from Winterhaven, heading south to find the missing archaeologist Douvian Staul. Our tiefling warlock drank a bit too much mead in the common room last night, so we left her in the inn to recover.

Just south of the town gates we ran into a kobold party at the crossroads, laying in wait. Thorn’s scouting ahead of the party detected them before the ambush. We slew the party, resulting in the following gains:

Once we reached the dragon burial site, we engaged a group of henchmen, a gnome rogue, two drakes, and a projection of the priest Kethelas. Defeating them, we found Douvian tied up; we healed him, looted the corpses and headed back towards Winterhaven.
